[trinity-users] 14.0.3 corrupts sound destination in openSUSE 42.1

From: Felix Miata <mrmazda@...>Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 21:21:01 -0400

On other PCs with openSUSE (42.1, 13.2 & 13.1) and TDE 14.0.x that have no
speaker built into the motherboard, I've not experienced $SUBJECT, sound
simply works as expected. On this PC, a SFF Dell Optiplex 780, aplay and
speaker-test work as expected whether run in multi-user.target or
graphical.target, as does Youtube sound running an IceWM session, producing
sound from accessory speakers plugged into the green jack, only if a TDE
session is not running or has not been running since the last instance of
'alsactl restore'. Speakers always work as expected in openSUSE Tumbleweed
running Plasma5 or openSUSE 13.2 or 13.1 running KDE4 (none of which have
their respective pulseaudio packages installed).
IOW, TDE redirects sound to the internal speaker that should be going to
external speakers, only on this one PC. Might there be a fix for this that
does not involve polluting the installation with the otherwise unnecessary
Pulseaudio rpm and its deps?
